Often people ask me what my favorite music
is. I hesitate to tell potential clients because my favorite music
is not likely to have any place at a party. In fact, I love all
music I just am particular about the music I listen to in my free
time. Below is a list of my top picks from many categories, my
opinion changes as I learn more about music. There is no
particular order to this list and it is a work in progress.
